Even the best legislative efforts cannot keep up to speed with the pace of innovative technology and business models that challenge the way personal data is processed and privacy is protected across the EU and beyond. Therefore, examining what is at stake and where threats originate from becomes of paramount importance.

This year's theme of the conference is "Value for People and Populations: Investing in Integrated Care". The event will bring together researchers, clinicians and managers from around the world who are engaged in the design and delivery of integrated health and social care.
